I would be very interested to see this vs the GMMK Pro, as well as the mods you mentioned!

[@Mike-11]

I’m still interested

[@Sigisss]

hello, if you can help, I was undecided too, in the end I got the id80 v2 because I like it more aesthetically, because it arrives in 4 days (They have not yet sent the gmmk pro to a friend of mine who preordered it to November) and because it is more "rare" In the end they are very similar I would go to i80v2

[@Mike-11]

@@Sigisss hey, I ordered the Id80 v2 as well it’s standing in front of me. I just have the problem that it sounds very holo. I used the packing foam For dampening which helped for every key beside the spacebar. Do you have any recommendations for what I can do know ?

[@Sigisss]

@@Mike-11 Oi, The id80v2 suffers from hollow, i have purchase id80 2 days ago, now i don't have a id80.

Great video! Really appreciate you walking through the QMK flashing process

[@HipyoTech]

Glad I could help! Thanks for the support!

[@brasilianloser]

Built one and the wife liked it so much that she took it from me. And she always hated small keyboards preferring full size. But the combination of this keyboard with OSA Sleves Keycaps and Glory Pandas lubed and filmed won her over.

[@HipyoTech]

Hahaha that's awesome and sad! This board really puts out it's pretty great! 🥰🤠

[@Pa1nL3zZ]

Mod it! I need to know if a silicone mod would improve or completely remove the hollow sound. Such a great keyboard but that hollow issue makes it not really handsome for me

[@tenyoki]

Omg Hipyo.. Your flashing guide helped me so much. Im on the ID80 V2 iso and could NOT figure this out. The reset mode was key. Even the guide sent to me by idobao was wrong. Thank you so much. Much luv, keep up the good music my guy.

Put some silicone and/or some door gasket in there and see if it takes away that echo. I am sitting trying to decide if I want the full acrylic one.

[@dhoffnun]

Informative, interesting, and well-produced - really enjoyed the video. The final build sounds amazing! It's deeper than a thock... maybe a THUNCC

[@Rawrenzify]

Thank you for posting this! I was thinking of buying this for my first build

@@OmmegaTang There is a Silencing foam specifically for the id80 on candykeys. Heres the link: candykeys.com/product/id80-silencing-foam . Im not quite sure if it fits in the id80v2 tho

Good informative review. I had an ID80 v1 and I couldn't stand the hollowness of that board. V2 seemed to have improved on that greatly, but it still sounds a bit hollow unfortunately :(

[@EngraMoon]

PSA: This keyboard is shown as "in-stock" on their website, but its inventory is SERIOUSLY BACKLOGGED. People who ordered months ago have yet to receive their order, especially for the white colourway. The company do not reply to emails frequently and a lot of people are wondering when their shipment is being sent out. There is essentially little to no customer service. Buy at your own risk.

[@cognition26]

why does this sound so good

[@emilzexkk735]

Hey do you remember me? My SK68 just arrived! Have some with the epomaker software, can't change the lighting except on driver1, and if I change some keys on a layer like layer1, the lighing will just go off until I factory reset it in the settings of epomakers software. Gonna mod it a little. Not comfortable with lubing my switches tho. So just some foam on the bottom and definitely some lube for the stabilizers. Will keep you updated! :D And yes, would love a mod video on the Id80 V2!

[@HipyoTech]

Hey! I remember you of course! Join the epomaker discord for some support, they have good help over there. And post some pics in my discord of your mods when you are done!

[@emilzexkk735]

​ @Hipyo Tech I'm definitely gonna post some pictures of when it's done. Looking for some middle of the road pricing PBT keycaps for it, sth BoW or so. Not in a hurry tho, stock ones are pretty nice.

[@neelg7736]

Great vid!! Super helpful for a keyboard noob/function row enthusiast!!

[@HipyoTech]

Glad it helped!

[@ok2full]

this board looks a lot nicer and you get way more out of it than a drop CTRL the only weird than about that layouts on their boards is that blank space. but if these were a thing a few years back when i grabbed a drop CTRL when i first entered the hobby i would have rather gone with this board especially with screw in stab support sheeeez no brainer. if you kiddo's are contemplating this or a drop ctrl id grab this any day for your first little budget build. gat yellows are the food stamps of the switch industry change my mind

[@LongggJunnn]

Hey, can I just ask what is the red "washer" looking thing at 3:13? Is it the o-rings from kbdfans?

[@loopingluiz]

nice video man, i just finished building my V2. Are you going to mod it to get rid off the remaining hollowness?

[@HipyoTech]

I'll potentially revisit it in the future, but I have a lot on my plate right now. I would do a very similar mod to my silicone mod I did on the Id87.

[@zed8080]

I just tried to google how to install screws using a jump cut (3:42)... it took a while to figure out you were talking about editing the video. TIL a jump cut is removing the boring video parts. Sigh. Great video, do a mods one please.

[@HipyoTech]

Hahaha thank you!

i've seen your video recently, i must say you deserve a subs and like. very great quality both video and sound. anyway i just wondering if this V2 comes with the foam? if not, can we use the V1 foam instead? looking forward for the answer. thanks in advance. best of luck on your channel ahead!

[@HipyoTech]

It does not come with the PCB foam, and does not really need it. It still needs case foam of some kind.

[@LogimonYT]

@@HipyoTech hi, my V2 just arrived last week. Just wondering where to put the case foam? It’s tight already.

Or both

[@blukenzxy3258]

Dude what backround is that? 5:49

Bruhhhh this is so cleaaaan. And the video is pretty cool. But I got a question: is it still an integrated plate design like the v1?

[@HipyoTech]

Yeah still integrated plate but its thicker I think

[@SuperKMao]

Great video dude. Bought one because of your review. I've read there's been a few issues with PCB and LEDs shorting out - any issues on your end recently with it?

[@HipyoTech]

I personally haven't had any issues, just make sure your computer is properly grounded

[@SuperKMao]

@@HipyoTech side question - I'm thinking of buying and putting sorbothane between the acrylic and PCB once it arrives - is there enough space?

@@SuperKMao Mine short circuited the moment I connected it. In the Idobao discord a lot of people have the same problem.

[@KennethMao]

@@soulsqueezer4022 I saw that in the Discord after I ordered it and basically did everything to make sure I statically discharged myself, grounded my laptop, and kept my desk free from static before I opened it up to mod it. Might have been overkill but I haven't had any issues at all during regular use either and I've opened it up a few times. I have seen people say it shorts out a few weeks in. I've had it for about about a month now and no issues. Definitely not something we should be worried about so if you are worried, there are other options out there! I personally am looking forward to the GMMK Pro I have coming in the next few months hopefully.

[@soulsqueezer4022]

@@KennethMao Yeah, I am pretty disappointed to be honest. Not that I like under-glow too much, but still this should not be happening. I would get the GMMK pro, but I don't like the silver color. They call it "white ice", but it just looks silver to me.

I bought it yesterday but now the pcb for id80 v2 is out of stock, it will takes more days :( can't wait to assemble it

Very excited for you!

[@nicnic6797]

Can you leave the backlight for the keys off while having the underglow on? :O

[@tamegaming1768]

Honestly, I've never experienced the soft flex of a gasket mount so maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but I really don't mind the integrated plate of my ID80 and quite like the sound signature too. If the V2 were $150 instead of $200 it'd be a far easier recommendation

[@RedShedG]

You really don't miss anything out. I've got the gasket mountet keychron q3 and i literally feel no difference compared to a non gasket mounted keyboard
